adminSean Dyche believes Tottenham Hotspur have reached their lowest point this season and expects the team to improve under new manager Roberto De Zerbi.
Spurs are currently on a dreadful run, without a win in their last 13 league matches, and sit just one point above the relegation zone with only seven games left to play.
Dyche, who had been loosely linked with replacing Igor Tudor during his brief and troubled spell in charge, revealed he never held any discussions with the club. Instead, Tottenham opted for former Brighton & Hove Albion boss De Zerbi—a decision Dyche believes could spark a turnaround.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Dyche said he would be surprised if Spurs did not experience an immediate lift in form, suggesting their performances have already “bottomed out” and can only improve. However, he admitted the relegation battle remains unpredictable, with no clear idea which teams will survive.
The former Burnley and Everton manager—who also had a short stint with Nottingham Forest earlier this year—had been mentioned as a possible short-term solution for Spurs. While he hinted that such a role did not appeal to him, he still offered insight into what De Zerbi must focus on to keep the club in the Premier League.
According to Dyche, survival will depend on structure, discipline, and physical intensity rather than just individual talent. He stressed the importance of building a solid framework, maintaining high energy levels, and putting in the hard work required to compete at the top level.
Reflecting on the possibility of taking the job himself, Dyche explained that financial incentives would not have been his main motivation. Instead, he would have considered the personal and professional value of the role.
He also pointed out the pressure that comes with managing a club like Tottenham—where even success might not guarantee long-term security, and failure could leave a lasting mark on a manager’s reputation.
Overall, Dyche’s message is clear: while Tottenham’s situation is difficult, there is still hope—but only if the fundamentals are addressed quickly.
